Lil' Wayne OPENS UP About LOVING Weed, HATING His Daddy And KNOWING His Power

We told you earlier that Lil' Wayne would be featured in the November 2011 issue of "GQ" Magazine for a feature on music's "Survivors" and now we can bring you highlights from the interview....and they are pretty shocking.

Find out what sober Weezy thinks about parenting, his (biological) daddy and his love of weed.....

Lil' Wayne is featured in the latest issue of "GQ" magazine and it's a real eye-opener. The article speaks to music's survivors and in Weezy's interview, he provides some very interesting commentary regarding his impact on his fans, he own role as a parent and most shocking of all....how much he resents his own father.

And while most people would roll their eyes at the "number" of women who can lay claim to having kids with Weezy, he seems to be a dedicated father who wants to put his kids first...and clearly he didn't have a role model in this area.

But he really reveals how much he loves his kids as he speaks about retiring at age 35 to focus on them. Here's some excerpts form his interview:

GQ: I hear you plan to retire when you turn 35?Lil Wayne: Basically, I have been doing this for eighteen years. That’s reason number one. I have accomplished all that I have set out to accomplish and more. But the main reason is my kids, my children. Now, if I thought I’d be selfish to my artists, imagine what I think I would be doing to my kids. I have enough money that they don’t have to ever do anything—which, they will do everything, ’cause they ain’t getting shit. [cackles wildly] Six more years, I can do this Lil Wayne thing, and my boys will be about 7 and 8 years old. And man, it’s all about them then. You know, whatever they’re doing. Sports. Whatever they’re into. That’s where I am. I’m at every game. I’m the dad with the hat on. The jersey. That’s me.

And though he wants to be a loving father.....he didn't have that growing up and it still strikes a core with him.

GQ: Your relationship with your biological father seems complicated.Lil Wayne: He don’t give a shit about me. And I don’t give a shit about him. I know his friends be like, “Damn, nigga. That is not your son. Stop lying. Nigga, you could be living in a motherfucking ranch right now, nigga.” You know, whatever your father’s into, if you’re rich, you’re gonna get him that shit. I would’ve got that nigga all kinda harnesses, ranches—you know what I mean?

I saw the nigga recently—I had a show in New Orleans. And I ain’t afraid to put this out there, ’cause this is just how much I don’t give a fuck about a nigga, and I want people to see how you’re not supposed to be. I was parked at the hotel, and I saw him walking outside the hotel. Just walking back and forth. I’m like, “Look at this nigga! You gotta be looking for me.” If Lil Wayne got a show in New Orleans, the whole of New Orleans knows. Basically, you’re not there for nothing else but me. So I call my man on the bus. I’m like, “Nigga, that’s my daddy.” He’s like, “Word? Oh shit. That nigga looks just like you!” So I tell my man, “Go see what’s up.” So my man goes to holla at him. He tells my man, “Oh. I didn’t know y’all was here. I’m here waiting for this little ho to get off. Get off work from the hotel.” For real? That’s when I was like, “Typical Dwayne Carter.” So that’s what’s up with me and my real father. I don’t want to look like his ass, but I do.

Weezy also talked about his 31 million fans on Facebook and the amount of social clout he has on pop culture.

GQ: What are you going to do with that power?Lil Wayne: I do exactly what I should. I be me. And that’s exactly what you’re supposed to do. You’re not supposed to say, “Okay. Now I got the power. Let me do things this way.” No. Because obviously I got the power, doing what I do, and I ain’t gonna stop doing what I do. I’m gonna be exactly who I am. So, if that dies one day, so be it.

And by the way, he is counting the days to get off probation so he can start back smoking the weed he loves. SMH....

GQ: You’re sober now? No more syrup?Lil Wayne: I’m good. I ain’t tripping. I’m used to it now. But I was never on heroin or cocaine or Ecstasy or nothing like that. I drank syrup and smoked a lotta weed. I wish I could be back on it. That’s how it fucking feels. [cracking himself up] “How does it feel to be sober?” I’ll be like, “It feels fucked-up.” What you want me to say? “It feels great”? No. I was on something that the doctor prescribed. I was ill, and that was helping me.

It takes two. Maybe his dad just don't know how to communicate to him that he does want to get to know him? Maybe he does'nt even care about the material stuff? Weezy needs to forgive not for his dad but for himself so that he is not hurting himself. It shows what kind of person weezy really is for him to talk about how he could have given his dad a lot of things. I hope people love weezy for weezy and not for what he has.I hope he takes care of the situation before something happens that he has to live with. I'm not saying that he has to be friends with his dad but, at least get stuff out. We are not to judge unless come our time we want to be judge because none of us is perfect and no sins in the eyes of our higher power who or whatever it may be is greater than the next. He who is greater takes care of children and the mentally ill.

This is why I always ask a guy about his father NOT his mother everybody mother walks on water. I can't deal with guys with "daddy issues" they hate their father, but still want to be validated by him. The contradiction makes them crazy and will bring you down with them. Let's review shall we? 1) In all of New Orleans How did his father know which hotel weezy was at? weezy told a couple of relative that he knew would tell his father (weezy's room happens to have a clear few of the sidewalk) 2) You hate somebody yet you claim them? "hey that's my daddy" 3) you did give a fuck about you daddy BUT you send your homie to see "what's up?" 4) YOU bring up that you look like your father 5) of all the bling and Bugatti's you have, you speak of buying an imaginary ranch your father never asked you for. 6) this all just happened to have happened RECENTLY I bet weezy (oops I mean) his father sees weezy everytime weezy is in New Orleans. This is why I ask on the first date "did you grow up with your father?" if you hate him then i'll hate him. If you love him then I'll love him, BUT I will not hate your father because you hate you love that you love to hate him. . .I can be crazy by myself. just FYI I grew up with my father and won't apologize for it.

There's nothing cool about drugs....why do these people brag about smoking snorting like who gives a damn. He's already butt ass ugly but somking weed doesn't help him the looks department never do those nast tats.
WANNABE SKATEBOARDER FREAKING POSER....YUCK.

ppl again get a life.. music is an art u guys take it so literal just in case u didnt know sometimes rappers say things jus because they rhyme. Far as his daughter in the time he is talking reginae with be bout grown. Weezy is a wonderful father all his baby mamas say that.. He never misses a birthday party or anything for ANY of his kids. He loves his children. Wish I could say the same for mine. I love Weezy!

Music is an art. So, you trying to tell me "pussy monster" has art appeal? GTFOH! He is a monster! All the money in the world won't cure that. Wonderful father my a$$. Exceptional fathers are not jailed, drugged and have multiple bastard children. There is nothing wonderful about that. I call a spade a spade.. "His baby mammas say that'! What a joke! You people act like you have no idea what a wonderful fathe is. Reality check "Weezy" ain't it. Just because you can through money at everything, don't make it right.

Wayne’s quote “I don’t want to look like his ass, but I do.” If I had a dollar for how many times I have heard myself and other black individuals say that. A mother has a natural bond with her child. It can go either way for a man: care or not care. It sucks. I grew up without a father. My mother called him once when she had no money for food after paying the rent, his response was: “I’m struggling too.”
Just like Wayne said: “I don’t want to look like his ass, but I do.”
Side note: I wish he would stop using the N word.

I won't judge him because only God knows what he has been through. That part about his dad is sad but oh so common though. It seems that he has been blessed none the less with his step father and Birdman stepping in and looking out. However, my soul tells me that Birdman is a pedofile that turned Wayne out. Maybe thats the reason for the drug use and troubled personality. Deep down he has a good heart and deeply loves his kids and I totally respect his for that. Please think that fame and fortune heals all but it does not. There is no amount of money that will take away the pain of an absentee father. I know I had an absentee mother and father and I'm in my thirties and sometimes I still cry to myself about that. Feeling unloved is tough. And stressing when I even yell @ my kids because I have a hard time disciplining them because I don't want them to hate me later on. It's a sad pattern. I wish he wouldn't use the N word like that in interviews. There is alot of pain inside of him, alot of rage that no amount of money or drugs or fake fathers will heal. I truly hope his kids will bring him internal peace, I'm happy he cares enough to be there for them.

The first thing I noticed was him saying nothing about his daughter, wonder how that makes her feel. Of course he loves her, maybe his mind was somewhere else. You should be there for your kids now, not just when you retire. And LiL Wayne comes off as really arrogant and egotistical in interviews. Your father messed up like a lot of them, forgiving him and moving on would be better than allowing hate to consume you. Hell you ain't the only one raised without a dad, a lot of us were. And the weed statement was just ignornant, you could have kept that to yourself...and Baby wasn't that good of a father, look at your body, mimicing him with all the tattoos.

Wow, just read the whole article and he didn't mention his daughter once. For the record the guy is very intelligent and has somewhat of a high IQ, just because you have issues or act a certain way does not erase that fact; just saying.

AND THATS ASHAME HE DID NOT SAY ONE WORD ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER ALL ABOUT HIS SONS THATS RIGHT SHES DARK SKIN,HE SOUNDS STUPID HE CAN NOT TAKE ALL THE MONEY TO HELL WITH HIM LOOKING LIKE THE DEVIL IAM SO GLAD TOYA LEFT THAT FOOL AND NOW SHE HAS A REAL MAN A GOOD LOOKING MAN A MAN WHO IS NOT GAY, HIS DAUGHTER IS HIS FIRST BORN NEVER LEAVE HER OUT OF THE PICTURE,HOPE SHE DOES NOT READ THIS.

YOU SOUND STUPID AS HELL UP UNTIL NOW I DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD SONS. I'VE SEEN PICS & VIDEO (SEE THE DOCUMENTARY "THE CARTER" OF HIM PRAISING HIS DAUGHTER. AS SOMEONE THAT GREW UP WITH A FATHER I CAN TELL YOU. YOU DON'T ALWAYS NOR WANT ALL THE SHINE ALL THE TIME WITH YOUR SIBLING. ONE DAY IS ABOUT ME ANOTHER ABOUT MY BROTHER ANOTHER ABOUT MY SISTER AND SOME ABOUT ALL OF US. IF HAD HAD OF MENTIONED HIS DAUGHTER AND NOT HIS SONS YOU WOULDN'T HAVE SAID SHIT.

EXACTLY , and wayne will be the father to his mutiple sons because he had none his daughter, like so many young women will be raised by the mother who was 14 when she had her at the time... and yall wonder why he has issues with committment and multiple baby mothers..... ??? black men you will REAP what you SOW.... ponder on that and who the heck talking about his music is ART !!!! LMFAO..... I am sure "pussy monster" will be kept in the library of congress for future generations

AND THATS ASHAME HE DID NOT SAY ONE WORD ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER ALL ABOUT HIS SONS THATS RIGHT SHES DARK SKIN,HE SOUNDS STUPID HE CAN NOT TAKE ALL THE MONEY TO HELL WITH HIM LOOKING LIKE THE DEVIL IAM SO GLAD TOYA LEFT THAT FOOL AND NOW SHE HAS A REAL MAN A GOOD LOOKING MAN A MAN WHO IS NOT GAY, HIS DAUGHTER IS HIS FIRST BORN NEVER LEAVE HER OUT OF THE PICTURE,HOPE SHE DOES NOT READ THIS.

WTF did Lauryn London see in him? I don't care how much money he has, he looks uber dirty, he's illiterate, a crackhead, a notorious baby daddy, and has ISSUES! That's great that he doesn't want to repeat the cycle of his father, but he still needs to set an example and clean himself up. He's like a piece of walking garbage.

And y'all call this lack-of-vocabulary having, unattractive, ghetto mess of a man a lyricist???? He can't even formulate a sentence but thinks he's the best rapper alive and too many of y'all think so too...sad #solonghiphop

If you knew anything about Weezy, you would know he ONLY represent Weezy, not America, not black people, not men, not rappers, not new orleans, not weed spokers, Just Weezy. I know this is a foreign concept to you. Being YOU by yourself, being YOU without the approval of you're momma, being YOU if it's not PC. Did you read the article? When he said now that he has the power he's not changing the game because HE is Now the game? You can't understand someone who is themselve all by themselve. SMH

@luci -
Girl please. Wayne doesnt represent all blacks anymore than Mel "crazy azz" Gibson represents all whites.... plus you sound like a slave ....
stop worrying what those haters think of us .... he reps young money only and he is a coon rapper... that's it. He doesnt even rep all of hip hop.... but the white kids love this coon 4 some reason.

LMAOOOO LIL WAYNE KILLS ME MAN, WHEN HE WAS TALKIN ABOUT HIS FATHER "THATS HOW U KNOW I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT A NIGGA" THATS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL. & ITS FUNNY HOW WHEN YUR MAKIN IT IN LIFE THATS WHEN YOUR "DAD" OR SPERM DONER WANTS TO HOLLA, U GO LIL WAYNE!!! YUR DA MUTHA FUCKIN MAN

AM ALWAY GOING TO BE A JAYZ FAN, BEST RAPPER ALIVE..BUT I RESPECT LIL WAYNE FOR WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HIS FATHER...MOST PEOPLE FORGIVE THERE FATHER FOR LEAVING THEM, BUT I FEEL LIL WAYNE, HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REACH OUT 2 HIM OR SHOW ANY CONCERN CAUSE HIS FATHER NOT CONCERNED BUT I FEEL HIS FATHER DNT WANT TO BE LIKE OTHER DEAD BEAT DADS, HE DNT KNOW HOW TO SAY SORRY, & I HOPE WAYNE CAN OVER LOOK IT...BUT WAYNE SHOULDNT HAVE TO REACH OUT 2 HIM

"Most people forgive their father for leaving them"? I think these people live in your imagination for the sole purpose of you making a stupid comment. . . . .caint stand people like you, want to be heard but have nothing intelligent to say.

i dnt have time to give a story about someone else homie, but would u forgive your father after u & your mom struggle for years & then u come into money...so how stupid do u sound, like i said i respect him for what he said, the president of america flew over new orleans but lil wayne was there for his people eveyone in the world is not going to have the same view...& lil wayne probaly do forgive him but why should he reach out to him, like he said he can have what he have but he choose to keep playing a fool

just like you said all music aint fantasy all music aint reality...you really dont know for sure what somebody has done in there lifetime just because of whats in a song...damn near every rapper inthe game talks about killing ppl and talk like they still deal drugs...if you think they doing all that you must be dumb they would either be under investigation or in jail...now almost ev rapper has been arrested 4marijuana possesion so that is something we can pretty much say they all do lol
